Not Spam but Pam!!!!

Hey I may know what has happened to my lost comments on blogger. Seems that blogger has decided my lovely affirmations are indeed spam!!! Please have a look in your spam and mark me as not spam and we will see if that helps. I miss not chatting to you all. I can leave comments here on mine or on wordpress but not anyone else at present.
Thanks for your help.

How long is a piece of string?

Not long enough!
We've  had five glorious days here in the Mountains with the beautiful  India Flint. We wandered and bundled and concocted potions and relaxed with women. We ate and drank and chatted till late. It was all over too quickly.
I learned how to make string and find that incredibly satisfying.

Another summer

My husbands mother for decades declared she wouldn't "make it through another summer". She was of course eventually correct. We have a maidenhair fern on our front porch that we salvaged from her garden. It was in a pot that had almost completely fallen apart and had always been there. This plant has come to the brink of death on many a summer day, through some neglect in watering but still manages to survive. I cut a frond off to see if it would make a nice resist in some dyeing. I thought I had tried it long ago for colour with no luck. so was only going for the shape.
Look what happened on some optim and silk. Some more pretties follow.

You can see I got a bit carried away with the little star leaf of this weed. But it is kinda nice.
